Theres a few threads on here specifically for that topic mate - I'm on tapatalk, so can't cut and paste the link (someone else may be able to), but if you search TD42 and turbo, you should find a fair amount of information.
Good luck with it mate.
Hi Mike,
I just put a second hand GU turbo to my GQ TD42 and after it got professionally tuned I highly recommend it mate!!!
Below is a link to more info about it...

The way I see it, a turbo manifold will probably cost the same as extractors and then all the extras you need are a turbo, oil lines and the intake side, you were going to get the exhaust done anyway so its not a whole lot more coin to get it turboed. You should be able to pick up a ht18 for bugger all, they're $795 brand new delivered off ebay.
Extractors will do stuff all by themselves, these engines need to be force fed :)
Edit
If you are looking for a used turbo, td42ti models are oil cooled only, td42t models were oil and water cooled.
An oil cooled only turbo will be easier to install
I would go turbo. CI engines don't react as well as SI engines to extractors because of the higher compression ratio. So back pressure around the port isn't as much as a problem in CI as it is in SI engines. After driving a TD42 with 2.5 exh & extractors & a snorkel I couldn't tell any difference to that of my old N/A stock manifold/exh Patrol.
I hear all sorts of stories about how adding extractors adds another gear or it nearly go's as-well as my mates turbo'd patrol etc bullsh@t. I think there would be gains. But so minimal it's not noticeable. Now turbo, that you will notice.
Cheers jono.
I give in, what's an extractor?
Headers or tuned length exhaust manifolds. Much more efficient at scavenging exhaust gases from the cylinders than the standard cast iron exhaust manifold.Quote:

What sort of money are they down under? :xxxx:
Sort of, extractors for naturally aspirated motors look more like the one below which cost $235 (Aust$).Quote:

I've been using that turbo manifold pic for my mate to make one up for me. I'm going down the turbo route soon ;)
Make sure you keep us updated, with photo's please.Quote:

I'd like to know more about the Terrano, in a seperate thread of course! I own a Terrano also.Quote:

It could take a while to retell the whole build lol :)
Just put it in members rides. It doesn't need to be a full build up thread, just the important bits.Quote:

Hi Tony!
I would like to know if this header is for a trol? Thanks buddy.
wouldnt bother with extractors, just spend the money and put a turbo on it most aftermarket kits are around the 2500-3000k mark to buy and the gains speak for them selfs
Which header would that be, am I missing something?Quote:
